Review of The A-Team (2010) by Marcela R — 26 Dec 2012

A group of Iraq War veterans seek to clear their name after being framed for a crime they did not commit.

I was very wary of watching this movie, as I am a huge fan of the original TV series, and I was very worried that they were going to take it and completely screw it up. But, what I was presented was by no means perfect, but was actually very enjoyable. The story is as over the top as you can possibly imagine, and has no basis in reality whatsoever, but then again neither did the TV show. The casting is all very well handled, but for me all the actors were just pale imitations of the originals. The big production values were very well handled, and there are a suitably large amount of things going "BANG" to keep anyone happy. I particularly liked the bit with the sky-falling tank - just pure cheese!! In the end this is an enjoyable film, but it could have been any group of heroes, and they will never be The A-Team that we all know and love.
